All these heads are visible at any one time - full face or in profile, almost level with your eyes or staring down from on high.
Bayon
Unique even among its cherished contemporaries,Bayon epitomises the creativwe genius and inflated ego of Cambodia's legendary king, Jayavarman VII. It's a place of stooped corridors, precipitous flights of stairs and best of all a collection of 54 gothic towers decorated with 216 codly, smilling, enormous of 'Avalokiteshvara' that bear more than a resemblance to the great king himself.
